Re: [R] Problem with reading file saved in directory
Reading the file with row.names=1 meant to make rownames out of the first column in the text file. Duplicate row names are not accepted. To diagnose, read it with row.names=NULL and see what is in the first column (e.g., use the table function on it).

Re: [R] Problem with reading file saved in directory
My psychic powers are telling me you don't know what is in that file. Perhaps you should look, with an eye toward counting the number of fields on each line and on having properly-quoted fields. My psychic powers are not strong enough to tell you what problems you will find in that file.

[R] Problem with reading file saved in directory
Good evening, I set up a working directory to read the indicated desktop file, but implementation of the read.file function produced the following error... >meth = read.table(file = "~/Vakul's GBM code/mapper.txt", sep ="\t", header = T, row.names = 1) Error in read.table(file = "~/Vakul's GBM code/mapper.txt", sep = "\t", : duplicate 'row.names' are not allowed In addition: Warning message: In scan(file = file, what = what, sep = sep, quote = quote, dec = dec, : EOF within quoted string What does it mean by "duplicate row names are not allowed" ? is the file I am attempting to access somehow not compatible? Also, how do I address the second part of the warning referring to what was found "In scan" ?
